A rare black fox has been caught on camera prowling around a garden in west London.

It was spotted by Faroz and his daughter Sophia, from Isleworth, who first thought it was a wolf, or a wild dog.

The animals are a type of North American red fox with a trait that makes their fur silvery-black. They make up about 0.1% of the UK fox population.

THAT’S RACIST! Taking a picture of an ebony fox without its permission! I demand reparations because my eyes have been exposed to such racism! Such exposure will wound me for the rest of my years!

For fun type red fox distribution map on Duckduckgo images. They range all the way from Florida to Ireland. I believe they cross the Bering Strait when it is frozen over.

At one times silver fox hides brought premium prices.

I remember my dad caught one was very glad for the money it brought.

I trapped a lot of fox never a silver.

There were 2 large black squirrels, squirreling around this morning.

We hope they move on, or have to the death battles with our not nice red squirrels and leave our gray buddies alone.
